– How I came up with this recipe?

This recipe was created because I wanted to use up the zucchini blossoms and the leftover herbed ricotta used in Air Fried Zucchini Blossom with Ricotta and Mozzarella Cheese recipe. The good thing is that I was able to use them all in one recipe.

– Why this quiche is so easy to make.

First, because there is no crust, so you will not have to hustle in making the dough, which can be time consuming.

Second, just layer all the ingredients into a deep dish, steam and you are ready to serve the most beautiful and delicious quiche.

– What substitutions can I make?

Of course, substitutions are allowed…instead of spinach you can add zucchini, mushrooms, bell peppers, and so on, just make sure to sauté before to remove the excess of water from the vegetables.

– Like it richer?

Yes, substitute milk with heavy cream, or half and half…you make the decision.
